Drawing upon thousands of official documents, letters, reports, maps and contemporary records, the series was conceived to preserve and publish the primary source material relating to Victoria's earliest European settlement and administration. The Foundation Series ultimately extended to seven volumes and an index, becoming one of the most important reference works ever produced on nineteenth-century Victorian history.\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n     \u003c\/font\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n      This set comprises four substantial first edition volumes: Volume I - Beginnings of Permanent Government (1981), examining the establishment of administration and civil authority in the infant settlement; Volume III - The Early Development of Melbourne, 1836-1839 (1984), documenting the emergence of Melbourne from a frontier outpost into a thriving township; Volume IV - Communications, Trade and Transport, 1836-1839 (1985), covering the vital networks of shipping, commerce and overland communication; and Volume V - Surveyors' Problems and Achievements, 1836-1839 (1988), detailing the immense challenges of mapping and opening the new colony.
